I love how you haven't explained to me how that comic is applicable in this situation. It's as if you don't know it either!

Or, you know, as if it should be self-explanatory. Obvious, one might say. If you still don't get it, perhaps compare the first two panels of the comic (as a single unit) to the last two panels of the comic (as another single unit). That may help you to glean the purpose of the panels in between.

I would not consider you to be an authority on what is obvious and what is not. Many things are obvious to you that are obviously wrong to many other people. (If you want to reply to this, please take it to one of the flame war topics, not here.)

I suspected as much, but I could have sworn that it would be abundantly obvious that @jkshapiro was using it because you were being an asshole to words without taking into account the fact that there's a person on the other side of them. But, as I've said many times, things which seem obvious are not always so obvious here.

The point of the comic is that people online find it really easy to flame one another incessantly because they distance themselves from the reality that there are other people involved. When confronted with the actual people on the other side of those words, it's a lot harder to justify all of the dehumanizing things people say in flame wars.
